I generally use conversations on this topic as a litmus test for a group or community. I’m pretty disappointed by all the whatabout-ism and false equivalence. I expected better fro…

As someone who has built an app that detects calls and meetings, this isn’t as nefarious as you’re making it out to be. You can detect patterns of hardware use that suggest you’re …

Given you just mentioned semantic search (a term I haven’t heard in over 15 years) and the other breadcrumbs in this comment, you wouldn’t by chance be an English lecturer living i…

Ive spent the better part of 3 weeks building my own shell for Linux mobile pretty much from the ground up, compositor and all, in Rust. Going to scrap everything and switch over t…

I’m in the the unique (and at times, unenviable) position of spending the last 4-5 years building out a music app (getradiant.app for the curious) and I agree with what others are …

I’m going to hard disagree with this. A lot of the enjoyment I get from creation is the process of others enjoying what I’ve built. Further more, building for others is great for b…

It’s tangential at best but there is a better way than all of this nonsense. Your employer can declare and direct tax owed from your paycheck directly each month. Come end of year …

This immediately reminded me of the Palm Pre iTunes/iPod protocol reverse engineering debacle from the oughts. It became a game of whackamole where by Palm would update their OS (R…

My only major gripe with it is React. Either go all the way and build something for Svelte that does this lowering the bar to the bottom on both creation and understanding of the U…

I feel like there should be a revolt not to reinstate the API for 3rd parties, but to put Huffman out on his ass. Dude has handled this situation so poorly that he’s no longer fit …

If it’s as good as you say, set up a sponsorship goal and we’ll contribute. 11 is massively expensive to use in embedded in an application so anything that’s lightweight enough to …

I hate Gizmodo. They really do find outrage in everything, seemingly getting off on it more than their readers. As others have said, paying 15 bucks an hour for Turk work rather th…

Having read through the comments and tried standard notes I can see why users might have been disappointed going from native to this web implementation. I recently went through the…
